Mine not really an anime but got me into them was Kadocha odd I know. xD Sana was amazing though this was when I was about 3. I didn't have disney channel I only had Jetix and Popgirl? as we had an old telly set....

I can remember in order when new animes, I though were just cartoons at the time, came on.

lol omg my first anime ever was Ninja Scrolls. I was five. Supposedly my older sister was "babysitting" me with her boyfriend. They rented the movie and my sister told me to get out of the living room because its an adult movie. She pushed me out of the room and told me to play, but I didn't. She forgot to lock the door so as they were watching, I was crawling on the floor to watch the tv. My eyes were literally glued on the tv and ever since then I became an anime lover. Like legit....I was psychologically traumatized. I remember I had nightmares from watching it. But after Ninja Scrolls it was Sailor Moon, Speed Racer, CardCaptor Sakura, Hamturo, DBZ, Pokemon, Digimon, Zoids, Adventures of Heidi Girl of the Alpes, From the Apennines to the Andes, and Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, and Metropolis, I can go on and on but you guys get the idea

Mine was Digimon, the sad thing is before I ever saw Digimon the kids at my school were all into Pokemon and I had no idea what channel it came on, and in trying to figure it out as a kid I stumbled across Digimon, and it was love. I then started to watch more anime I didn't know it was anime though until I was in middle school, so I think the first anime I saw that I knew it was anime was, Naruto...I think... it would have been around my Naruto stage so whatever was on Toonami around that time could have also been the first one I knew was anime.

First (that I can remember, anyway) would be either Transformers or Voltron. I don't remember which. (I even had Voltron toys and a Voltron sleeping bag).

Later, I remember watching Sailor Moon on weekday mornings before heading off to class at college. I may have rented and/or bought some stuff before that. I can't remember the timeframes that well anymore.

I may have caught portions of stuff while flipping through channels, though. (Like one of the local christian stations having SuperBook or something like that)
